To be honest my main worry now is that I haven't flown ANYTHING in almost a year (since my Puppeteer crashed due to a broken wire in one of the transmitter gimbles). I'd sure be a lot happier if I could give an ARF a few whirls before flying the SE5a again.
Getting a model ready to fly is never too much work. Like I said the thrust angles aren't near as critical as the balance, incidences and alignment. As you have it, a little nose heavy for first flight requires adequate elevator throws. The first flights will be uneventful, now.
